Goodbye (2022) Movie Script

1
BASED ON A CONVERSATION
BETWEEN SHIU AND HIS FATHER
Excuse me.
-Hey, Tara.
-Hi!
Congrats, buddy.
I'll just go change and come. Okay?
You argued the case so well today, Tara!
That's my strong suit.
Tara, you won your first case!
Come on, guys. Let's party!
-You guys are coming?
-Calm down.
-Come on! Quick!
-Oh, God!
-Oh, God!
-Come on!
Congratulations, Tara! Let's celebrate.
Hey, guys! That's my girlfriend Tara.
And she has just won her first case.
Tara! Tara!
Tara! Tara!
Are you ready to party?
Monday Tuesday Wednesday
I just want to fool around
Oh Thursday, Friday, Saturday
I just want to let my hair down
Monday Tuesday Wednesday
I just want to fool around
Oh Thursday, Friday, Saturday
I just want to let my hair down
But oh Sunday, oh Sunday
It's my rest day!
One hic spells my life's doom
I got no more room
The hic has got me
The hic has got me
I'm on
I'm on
I can feel the kick
I can feel the kick
I'm on
I'm on
Hey, can you just
charge this? It's Tara's
Okay.
Come with me on my trip
Come with me on my trip
Let's get together and get high
Let's get together and get high
You slay me
You slay me
You slay me
You slay me
You slay me
You slay me
My love
One hic spells my life's doom
I got no more room
Can you please go and check?
Yes?
Ma'am
you forgot your phone
in the bar last night.
Thank you.
Someone was calling all night
So
Papa?
Yes, Papa?
Give me a moment.
Where's mom?
Where were you all night?
We were at a party.
I've been trying to reach everyone
since last night.
Karan isn't picking up.
Nakul's phone is off.
What is it, Papa?
How does it matter?
Does it make a difference to you?
Papa, please don't start again
and that too early in the morning.
Why don't you have a landline?
I've been calling since 5:00 a. m.
Landline? Who uses
landline number these days?
It's for those who care!
Papa, it's been months since you called.
And that too
Never mind.
Why don't you shout mom?
She wants me to vent out at mom.
No. I don't need the money.
-Please take it.
-No, ma'am.
I live right here in front
of the Tiwari's clinic.
First, I thought I'd send
the phone with a friend.
Then I thought that I know you.
I've seen you so often.
I thought I'd bring it myself.
So
Last night, your father
was calling again and again.
I answered the call.
And he said that your mother
had passed away.
What?
Your mother is dead.
Maybe you should call back?
Sorry, ma'am.
My beloved mother
Who was it, Tara?
My beloved mother
-My beloved mother
-What happened, Tara?
My beloved mother
What happened?
How does it matter to you?
Why don't you all continue partying?
That's all you're interested in.
I had to tell a waiter
that your mom was dead.
A waiter!
But Papa, I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
She didn't know
So I must just sit around
waiting for her to die?
How could she leave us like that?
I missed all her phone calls.
I didn't reply to her messages.
I read them but I didn't reply.
I can't even tell her I won my first case!
What do I do?
Come on, Papa, have your juice.
Papa.
Papa!
I don't know if Geeta
has told
Gayatri's father or not.
I think I should go myself.
But who will look after
things here?
There's so much to do.
No one even knows about it yet.
Should I post it
on Ms. Gayatri's Facebook page?
Yes, use her phone.
Where is her phone?
What about Karan?
Karan is taking the night flight.
Nakul isn't answering his phone.
Drink your juice, Papa.
You haven't eaten anything since morning.
Not now. Okay
I have called the ambulance.
Done.
Listen, we
need some ice as well.
And we need
to book an ambulance.
Everything will be done, Papa.
Don't take unnecessary stress.
-And--
-Please drink your juice, Papa.
Listen.
Where are my slippers?
You're wearing them, Papa.
You're wearing them.
Oh, right.
Economy seats are booked.
Shall I book the business class?
How much is it?
35,000 rupees for a one way ticket.
Just handle it, Mudassar.
And book one for you as well.
You know it will upset your father.
But you know mom loved you.
I know, Tara.
But just go be with your family.
Obviously, I'll come to the cremation.
Have you told him?
No.
We've talked to the doctors.
He's still very weak.
I don't think I can come to the cremation
but I'll try.
I promise.
What happened?
Where's Gayatri?
Isn't Gayatri coming?
Take some rest.
She'll be here soon.
Papa, Nakul's phone is still unreachable.
Did you send a message?
Yes, I've messaged him.
"Come home. Mom not well. "
All right.
Did he eat?
Come on.
Stupid
didn't you eat anything?
Here.
Come on.
Eat your food.
Have a little.
Come on, eat some for Gayatri.
Just a little.
Yeah, can you hear me now?
Patrick, I told you I'm going
to be back in 15 days, okay?
Yeah.
I am
I'm going to make the presentation and
send it to you from there.
Excuse me ma'am, your
Hindu meal is confirmed.
Thank you, I'll have the chicken, please.
I'm so sorry but chicken is
not included in the Hindu meal.
Wha
But I love the chicken.
I mean, the Indian spicy chicken.
I'm so sorry.
It's my favorite.
Listen, I'll try and wrap it up
in four to five days, okay?
Yeah, I am going to do that for you.
Okay, bye.
Wrap it up?
What?
Sweetie
you're not going for a project.
Of course not.
That's not what I
So stupid! I forgot to buy my smokes.
I forgot to buy cigarettes
because of the stress.
-Sorry. Give me two minutes.
-What?
Yes, Papa?
Yes, Papa. Right here.
Hold on a second.
Yes, Papa?
My flight is booked.
I'm coming via Dubai.
Yes, I will.
Are you all right?
Okay, Papa. I'll see you.
-Can you go to slide number 17, please?
-Yes.
Yeah.
Sure
Correct the first line.
Please change that.
Hi, can I have a large Glen, please?
Thank you.
ALL THE BESDID YOU WIN THE CASE?
Give it to her.
Karan, come here.
-Come here, love.
-Leave me!
I want to marry Delna.
I don't want to get the rakhi tied.
Mom
Can we roll the cotton smaller?
Auntie, are you all right?
Where do I put the holy basil?
Okay, right.
Shall I use the big leaf or small?
Okay.
Sorry, Auntie.
It's done, sir.
It's done, sir.
This is so sad.
-Tea?
-What is this?
Tea?
I generally drink black coffee.
But I don't need anything right now.
-Tea?
-No.
Oh.
I better have half a cup of tea.
Tea?
My foot is numb.
I'm not used to sitting on the floor.
We came first but they
snaffled the chairs.
For the next three you
won't light the gas stove.
It would be a bad omen.
Tea?
You can have tea.
How did she die of heart attack?
Everyone knows that
ladies don't have heart attacks.
Gayatri used to exercise a lot.
She was fit.
She'd daily go for morning walks.
She'd be wearing those
What are they called?
-Air pods.
-Yes, that's what I meant.
What are you up to?
Sister, I am doing everything
that the priest asked me to do.
That's why I started walking as well.
-Really?
-I go every morning.
It's important.
Once I am done with
my morning tea or coffee
I put on my shoes and go for a walk.
I bought new shoes as well.
They cost around 15,000 to 20,000 rupees.
But they are really comfy.
They are amazing!
Do you walk every day?
Every single day.
But Gayatri and I never saw you.
Because, you know
Now who will walk with me?
Don't worry.
I'm still here. I'll go with you.
We will go together.
We can get my driver to take us.
Grab those chairs if these guys get up.
I can't sit here any longer.
Priest
I've put the phone on speaker.
Let me know what you will need
for the next few days.
-Note it down.
-Go on.
Two kilogram of ghee.
Okay, ghee.
-Half a kilogram of rice.
-Rice.
Cottonwool.
Cotton
-Get a packet of camphor.
-Camphor?
Do we have camphor at home?
Do you have camphor?
-We'll get camphor, sir.
-Okay.
It will be enough for two or three days.
We'll make sure
there's enough for two or three days.
-One more thing.
-Yes?
Get the rolled wicks.
Okay.
-Make sure they are rolled wicks.
-Yes.
Or it will take time to make them.
I agree.
Hello, sir.
Did he hang up?
PP, you have to tell us what to do.
Leave it to me.
I don't think my brain is working.
Gayatri handled everything.
Don't worry about a thing.
We'll do everything to make sure
her soul gets peace.
What is going on here?
Mom never liked these rituals.
-If she had been here--
-Is she here?
Is she here?
Dear, what don't you like?
All this drama.
There's cotton in her nose,
her feet are tied up,
-and she's lying on the ground--
-This is not drama.
-This is tradition, right PP?
-Right.
Tradition is the problem.
There's no logic to it.
I think we should respect
the wishes of the dead.
How can we find that out?
Wake her up and ask her!
Calm down.
Tara didn't pick her call for two days.
She kept calling you all night.
What happened to your logic then?
Dear, she's dead.
And we need to do this for the dead.
-He just wants to argue.
-She'll come around.
Look at the way she is talking!
Look! There's an empty chair.
Make sure this water don't flow
into the plants.
Someone get a mop.
Make sure it doesn't flow here.
Well, we could move auntie a little
and then the water could flow that way.
The body's alignment is all wrong.
It should be lying
on the North-South axis.
You've kept it facing East.
You two, come here.
-You two, come here. Not you.
-Coming.
Come here. Quick.
-I'll be right back.
-Come here.
Put your body to some use.
Come.
Not with footwear.
Take off your footwear.
Come fast, child. Hurry up.
Two of you hold her head
and two of you hold her feet.
Come here. Great!
She's with us.
Lift it up carefully and turn.
We were very close to Gayatri.
Be careful.
Good.
Thank you.
Good. Lift it. Turn it around. Good.
-Turn it.
-Oh, God!
Let her be. What difference does it make?
What do you mean?
Of course it makes a difference.
She has to go peacefully.
Will she will go peacefully
if you keep shifting her like this?
The body must be aligned
to the energy patterns of the universe.
Your mother is no longer with us but
I am just explaining to her that
Gayatri is no longer with us.
We just have her soul with us.
The soul that seeks release
but on its own terms.
What are you up to?
Looking for the North.
For the next 13 days,
she will wander around here
about 12 feet above the ground.
She is waiting.
She is waiting.
She is watching from
her vantage point, 12 feet above us.
Now the soul must decide
where it needs to go.
The soul is listening
to what we are thinking
and saying about her.
Where is the north?
-Where is the North director?
-It's here.
No, it's here.
I think it's here.
So move her. Why have you stopped?
-And hurry up.
-But be careful.
-I know it's here.
-I know! That's what I said.
The North is here.
-Hey--
-No!
The milkman comes from there.
The North must be there.
You always cause confusion.
Where does the sun rise?
Somewhere around here.
Then the North must be somewhere here.
Hello, I'm busy right now.
North must be here. Put her here.
This must be the North.
Right, this is North.
I'll come later. Not now.
Take it easy. Don't hurt her.
Has anyone spoken to the priest?
-Did it hurt, Auntie?
-Chetan.
I think I might just kill someone.
Auntie
Out of the way.
Call the priest.
Chetan.
My battery is dying. Call me up.
Auntie.
Do you remember
how she could knock it back?
Now, I
Gayatri was a happy soul.
Yes!
Always smiling.
Listen, do you have a photo
that can be put behind your body?
I think it's best to have one ready.
I don't have one myself.
All of them are group photographs.
And no one prints photos these days.
They're all dumped on the phone.
If you're going get a photo clicked,
then it better be a smiling photograph.
Why would I smile in a photo that is
going to be put up next to my corpse?
My smile used to knock
them dead in the streets.
So, my smiling photograph should
be put up after my death.
It will be amazing!
Greetings.
Will you move a little?
I was saying that
they won't be cooking for three days.
So we should send them food.
Have you just arrived?
I have been here!
What about the food for
the next three days?
I've soaked chickpeas.
I will send the food today.
I'll make some more.
-Harish loves the food I prepare.
-All right.
Tomorrow, I'll make aloo matar.
I have peas stored in the fridge.
We bought a new fridge of 480 liters.
So, I froze the peas.
You get fresh peas
throughout the year in Sector 17.
Really?
No need. I have them already.
-I'll send some rotis.
-Yes.
That will be perfect.
Send the turnip pickle as well.
It will be a great finishing touch.
Gayatri loved turnip pickle.
She's been with Ms. Gayatri
since she was five years old.
She looked after her.
Once she came here with me
and she didn't even want to go home.
Ms. Gayatri insisted
on sending her to school.
Now we must go home, right?
Enough.
Calm down.
Hello?
Hello, Papa.
Papa I'm stuck in Dubai.
I am getting a connecting flight to Delhi.
No problem, dear.
Please try to come soon.
Papa, don't worry.
I'll take a cab to Chandigarh.
Just don't worry, please.
Papa, give me a second. Just hold on.
Just keep it here.
Yes.
Sir, your butter chicken
and butter garlic naan.
Anything else?
No. Get me a diet coke?
Get some beer as well.
What was that, Papa?
I said, get yourself some beer as well.
No, Papa, I'm not
It's not
Now that you're having a party,
you might as well go all the way.
Papa, I'm not even hungry.
I'm just-- Hello?
Papa
Sir?
Buddy
can I get some khichdi?
No one eats simple food at a shradh.
The food must be vegetarian,
but it can't be simple.
Call him.
Hey!
Hey! Hey! What are you doing?
Dear
a crow could be a soul.
It could be Ms. Gayatri seeking moksha.
She was here for moksha.
We've heard it as well, dear. It is true.
What have you heard?
The crow has a human soul in it?
What crap are you saying?
You're supposed to be educated people.
Keep your old thoughts
to yourself, please.
I can't believe what nonsense you're--
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
Mom!
Can I borrow these?
No. You are very careless.
I let you take my blue studs
the last time and you lost it.
You can't take them.
What a Scrooge!
You never share anything with me.
I don't care what you say.
Those are my favorites.
You can't take them.
Are you going to take them with you?
One day they'll be mine.
Shameless girl.
You're talking about your mother's death
just for a pair of earring.
You won't let me have them
when you're alive.
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
-Careful.
-Brother Karan.
Oh, no.
I was handling it all alone.
Sorry, Papa.
I took the first available flight.
Never mind. Now that you're here
take charge of everything.
Go on.
It might be important.
It's your phone.
-Yes?
-Brother-in-law.
Did you tell Papa?
I told him.
You know him well.
Then?
He was saying that
he is more worldly-wise than me.
And as to why I hid it from him.
Just let him
recover from dengue
and we'll be right over.
Geeta, they'll all be gone soon
and I'll be alone.
Auntie Geeta?
Come then.
That'll be better.
Papa, Auntie Geeta
Hello, how's granddad?
He's well.
Are you okay?
They've put mom on the floor.
There's cotton in her nose.
She is just lying on the floor.
Meanwhile everyone's
running around blindly.
Let them get on with it.
Whether it's your father or someone else,
let them do whatever they like.
Try to understand.
Are they doing this
for themselves or for mom?
And Papa is on his own trip.
So what?
He's not in a good place.
Don't be stubborn.
My mother has just died.
I'm not in a good place either.
I'm entitled to my stubbornness.
Bye, guys.
Mom, it's done.
I've found a place to stay in Bombay.
Thank God. I was so worried.
The flight is in two days. Where is it?
-You remember Ashish from Delhi?
-Yes?
I did my final submission with him.
He has a two-bedroom apartment
and was looking for a flatmate.
I said I was in.
Stay in a hotel.
You can shift when you've
found the right place.
What does that mean?
It is the right place.
A two-year lease!
No need to stay alone with a man.
I'll book you into a hotel.
He's not just any boy.
I know him. He's a good guy.
Mom, say something.
You know him but I don't.
I said I'm booking a hotel
until you find something.
End of topic.
End of topic?
I can't afford a hotel, Papa.
I will book a hotel.
I don't want to be dependent
on anyone after I get my first salary.
In fact, I'm going to
send some money home.
Really?
She has become Ms. Independent
all of a sudden!
You remember who
paid for this independence of yours.
I worked day and night
to make sure you got a good education.
And now, with your
first salary, you want to send money home.
It offends you to take my money now?
It's not an insult.
I want to make you proud.
If you want to make me proud then you
better learn how to talk to your elders.
She's been like this since childhood.
Has she ever paid heed to anyone?
What do you mean?
I will accept the statements
that I can understand.
If I don't understand,
then I won't accept!
What an arrogant girl!
You are stubborn!
From today, I'm not
going to ask you anything.
I won't tell you anything
even if you ask me.
Thank God, I'm leaving the day after.
And so it goes.
Angry words and slammed doors.
You can fight all you want
but don't stain the
pillows with your hair dye.
The color will rub off.
What's going on?
Return ticket?
No.
I was just doing some research.
Checking on flight timings.
Daisy just--
We just need to know the timings.
Are you already planning to go?
Did you manage to reach Nakul?
No, Papa.
I just can't get through to anyone.
All ready for tomorrow?
So you managed without me?
Don't you guys have
anything to talk about?
Hey!
Did you wish
Karan and Daisy for their anniversary?
I reminded you.
Now all of you will
keep track of these things yourself.
But don't forget to wish each other.
You never know when the other
person won't be with you anymore.
And you, buddy?
Got some time off from work?
What about you, Stupid?
Why are you sulking?
Why are you raging at them?
Are you afraid to be abandoned?
Is this the only
photograph you could find?
Do you remember how much I drank that day?
Shit, I was so drunk!
Now where's my favorite?
Eating butter chicken in Dubai.
When does Angad land tomorrow?
Six o'clock.
What?
Six in the morning, Papa.
So who's going to the market?
I'll go, Papa.
What else do you need?
-Rope?
-Earthen pot.
Got that.
We need two pots, one big and one small.
And panchgavya.
Sorry, what?
I am talking about panchgavya.
It is made of cow milk,
curd, ghee, and urine.
Ghee and cow-- What was that?
Urine.
Cow
Why don't you talk to the man yourself?
Please speak to him.
Sure.
This is nonsense.
Let's just do an electric cremation.
You'll need the same
things for that as well.
And seven gold coins.
Of course, seven gold coins.
Seven what?
Gold coins.
Yes.
Seven gold coins?
Harish all this has to be done.
Gold coins!
This is a business.
No, it's a racket.
Indeed, it's a business.
And what a business model.
It's because one day,
we all fetch up here, don't we?
Yes, and what time do
we expect the ambulance?
Turn it.
-I'm getting another call, just wait.
-You come.
-The eldest son takes this.
-Okay.
Please come forward.
Just hold on.
One second.
Lift her up.
Careful.
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Careful.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Hello?
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Yeah, 4:00 p. m. is good.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-I think--
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-I'll call you back.
No, this is all wrong.
Her head should be in the front.
PP, her feet should be in the front.
I've done this thousands of times.
Come here, son.
Go on. That's right.
Now turn this side.
All the short guys can lift it higher.
-Great, now move forward.
-It will fall down.
No worries. Turn it around.
Easy! Careful!
Turn it over there. Come on.
Don't rush it, Great.
Now come this side. Easy. Well done.
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Mudassar.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-Mudassar, come here.
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-No worries. That's alright.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
-We need the earthen pot as well.
-Lord Rama's name is the truth.
Bring the pot.
Bring it fast.
What are you waiting for?
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
Lord Rama's name is the truth.
But Harish, you're already paying
for three children.
Do you want to adopt a child?
Ms. Durga, you know
this was my first home.
I grew up here.
I only got myself
a family when she came into my life.
Which was why we
decided that when we could afford it,
we would adopt a child.
This will not require any hardwork
and my figure will remained maintained.
Isn't that right?
Tell the driver that
I'll give him the instructions.
We want to come along.
I don't think it's allowed but
PP, should we leave?
Let me sort this out.
Where is the bag with all essentials?
-No, let's leave it inside.
-Okay.
-Why?
-I think it might take some time.
How much time?
About fifteen to twenty minutes.
There are two cremations ahead of us.
We are third.
Let me have a word with the priest.
I've come here thousands of times.
I said we should go to
the electric crematorium.
No. We spoke to the priest and he said
that only a wood fire ensures salvation.
What?
I think it's going to
take another ten or fifteen minutes, Papa.
Something to do with salvation.
What do we do until then?
Nakul?
How could I miss this? I mean
I literally read up on everything.
We wear black to a funeral.
-I just didn't know this whole
-It's okay. Makes no difference.
Karan didn't even tell me.
So stupid!
No. Don't worry. I will tell.
Myself, PP Singh. Family friend.
Child, Yamraj
the God of Death
he takes life from everybody
including foreigner.
Now the soul leaves the body
but sometimes it tries to enter again.
And that is why we
block the nose. See that?
Yes.
And tie the feet thumbs.
It is important.
-And then
-We cut the astral chord.
The chord that connects
the body and the soul.
It is the astral chord.
That's what I said.
Same thing.
What is your name?
Who named this group?
"Gayatri Death 2022"?
Not me.
I am talking about the WhatsApp group.
Yesterday we had to add someone, right?
I thought
Who would name a group like that?
Let's not fight.
Let's crack of a nice name instead.
Harish is going to be lonely
so we can call it "Lonely Harish. "
If Harish had to feature
in the name, then why not it be
"Harish Needs Us"?
I think that if the
group is about Gayatri,
-then the title should feature her name.
-Absolutely.
Quite right.
But she's no longer among us.
How about
"Gone Gayatri Gone"?
"Gone Gayatri Gone"?
That's a movie title, right?
Gayatri is no more
but we have a group in her name.
And we will be with her.
Do you remember what she used to call us?
What?
Chandigarh Bubblies.
That will be the name of the group.
Chandigarh Bubblies.
Okay.
What is it?
-Ten more minutes.
-Okay.
Make me the admin of the group.
I'll change the name.
-I have done it.
-Go ahead with it.
We should take a selfie.
All of us are wearing white clothes.
Let's click a selfie
and make it the profile photo.
-Come close.
-Okay.
Gayatri's Bubblies!
Why does the son get to do the cremation?
Why does the son get to do the cremation?
What?
She was my mother as well.
So why shouldn't I light her pyre?
You haven't changed, Tara.
Just follow what has been told.
Just do what I'm told and
never bother about what it means?
Are you all right?
You?
I
Last night, I gave her
some water to drink and she looked fine.
She was asking
whether I had replied to you.
Did mom read my mail?
I asked her to read it.
She said
"That twitbunny must
have written something
that will make me blush. "
Twitbunny?
Mom was
It's our turn.
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
Memories come
Flooding altogether
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
Why do I feel
You are sitting close to me?
Each second is a trial
In what I've thought and what I have done
All I see is you
In my blood and in my bone
All I need is you
My beloved mother
When I think of you
My eyes fill, my tears spill
My beloved mother
When I think of you
My eyes fill, my tears spill
That laugh of yours
That sob of yours
What will this life be without you?
When I was hurt
When it cut deep
Your face was the balm
Your face, it was your face
My beloved mother
When I think of you
My eyes fill, my tears spill
My beloved mother
When I think of you
My eyes fill, my tears spill
My beloved mother
In your shade
My beloved mother
I want to stay
My beloved mother
In your shade
My beloved mother
My eyes fill, my tears spill
Stupid.
Stupid.
Hey, Stupid.
Stupid.
Hey, my boy.
Yes, Papa? What is it?
We just cremated your mom a while back.
Yes.
Cremation!
And
And the two of you
And the two of you are
What is this?
What is this?
Basically you don't care.
You will leave soon as well.
Now that you are done
with your duty, you will escape.
And then all you will bother about is
work and parties.
Who cares about old parents?
What is this? I mean
What is
Feelings! What do you feel?
You've become an American.
This is how they do things over there.
They cremate their mother in the day
and run after your wife in the night.
-It's bloody disappointing--
-She wasn't just your wife, Papa.
She was my mother as well.
That wasn't what I was up to.
That didn't cross my mind.
I wasn't in the mood.
-Oh, not in the mood?
-No.
So what were you in the mood for, buddy?
Tell me all about your moods.
Mom wanted to become a grandmother.
I had promised her
a grandchild on her birthday.
That's what we were up to.
Daisy is on fertility medication.
And if we miss it, then
we've got to start again from scratch.
And who are we doing all this for?
It's for you.
So you two could be granddad and grandmom.
We weren't having fun, Papa.
That's the problem.
What is the problem, Papa?
Smoking!
What?
Smoking is the problem!
Gayatri and I conceived you
on the first night of our marriage.
Had you quit smoking,
she wouldn't need tablets.
We would have been grandparents by now.
So no smoking!
-Okay?
-What are you talking about?
Can we focus on one thing at a time?
So now you're going to
teach me how to suck eggs?
You're going to teach me how to argue?
You must have booked your tickets already?
When are you leaving?
What on earth is going on?
Mom is no more with us
and all of you have ended up fighting.
Did you ever stop to think
how she might want to be cremated?
What kind of cremation
she would have liked?
Hello, this wasn't a birthday party
where you get a choice of themes.
It wasn't a birthday but a deathday.
Birthdays come every year.
Death comes once.
But no one stopped to think what she
might have liked.
Really?
How does that matter?
She's gone. How can
she like or not like anything?
Perhaps she might want a say
in what she might like to be freed from?
How she would like to be remembered?
How will her soul be freed if she is truly
floating above us here?
But that's the whole point of the rituals!
To set the soul on the path to.
We do things without
knowing why we do them.
We do them mechanically
so that PP Uncle will approve.
We do them so people
will say how well everything went off.
That we crossed every t
and dotted every i.
No one spared a thought for mom.
Say something!
These traditions have
been with us for thousands of years.
And just because you
don't believe, doesn't mean they're wrong.
I know how Mom
wanted her last rites to be!
God!
Papa, you can move the
seat back and stretch out a bit.
-I'm fine.
-You will--
If he's fine, leave it.
-Hi, baby.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Hi, baby. How are you? All okay?
-Is everything alright there? You okay?
-Wait. Listen.
-Yeah.
-No.
-Wait.
-First you listen to me.
Don't get mad at anyone, okay?
Are you listening?
Yeah! And most importantly
-be very patient with papa.
-Mudassar.
Be very patient with Papa.
-I know, Mudassar.
-You'll lose and then he'll also lose it.
-You need to stay in control.
-Fine. Listen.
-He needs you right now.
-You are on speaker.
Hi Hello everyone.
Hello, Papa.
Hello.
Hello. Greetings.
So you guys carry on.
I'll call you later.
-I'll text you later.
-Yeah.
I love you.
-Shut up. Bye.
-Bye!
Not a word.
Open the boot.
Tara.
This
This is PP's list.
Yes.
Take a look. It's all there.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure it all gets done.
-No, let me keep that.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
-Get on with it, guys.
Daisy, one second.
Sir, let me get you a room?
-I don't need any.
-Come with me, sir.
-No thanks. I don't need anything.
-I'll get you a hotel. Right now.
-Someone get this kid off me.
-Come, please.
-I don't want a hotel.
-We'll do it.
-We'll do it.
-Let me get you a hotel. Right now.
-This bag?
-It's mine.
-Come with me, please.
-Son, I don't need a hotel.
-Ma'am, a hundred dollars, please?
-Hundred dollars.
Hey, do you know how much money that is?
One second, guys.
Sandalwood might help you calm down, sir.
I'm cool. Put it on him.
-A hundred rupees--
-Sandalwood cools
-It's nice.
-I don't want any.
Come on, Karan.
-It's done.
-Babe, just give them something.
Ma'am, a hundred dollars, please.
Please give them some money.
Let me apply this.
The chakra is right here.
Got it?
The chakra is right here.
-Right here.
-Here.
Bless you.
Bless you.
Come.
May you live long.
Tara, touch his feet.
You do it.
-Hey.
-I touch your feet.
How are you?
Touch Granddad's feet.
No, Papa. I don't like it.
Everything isn't about
liking or disliking. This is respect.
I don't have to touch
people's feet to show respect.
Bless me.
What's your problem? Just touch his feet.
I don't want to touch his feet.
At least do it for papa.
You go about pleasing people, okay?
Who was by Granddad's side
when he was ill?
-Me, right?
-He's always falling sick.
-So, you--
-Shut up!
Stupid child.
She talks a lot.
Our daughters don't touch
their elders' feet.
See?
Daughters-in-law must do it!
And when you become one
you'll have to touch their feet.
-Granddad, I--
-Enough!
Silent mode.
Whose ashes are being immersed?
Gayatri Bhalla.
And she liked none of this.
Liked none of this?
Do you know why
we immerse ashes in River Ganga?
Would you like to know?
Yes, please.
There are many stories about this
but my favorite is
the one about the Queen of Hastinapur.
I've got my laptop with me
so I can show you.
My password is "Don't Remember. "
With a capital D.
Can you see?
When King Shantanu of Hastinapur saw a
beautiful woman by the banks of the Ganga,
he offered marriage.
The queen accepted with a condition.
He was never to question
any of her actions.
Or she would leave him, forever.
Now, all together, Hail Mother Ganga.
Hail Mother Ganga.
When the queen gave birth to a son,
she took him to the river.
The king was following her
and he watched
as she sacrificed
the baby to the river.
The king could say nothing.
He had promised.
Now all together, hail Mother Ganga.
Hail Mother Ganga.
She did this with the second child
as well, offering him to Mother Ganga.
Then the third, and the fourth.
The fifth and the sixth
and the seventh as well.
All of them were
sacrificed to Mother Ganga.
The entire kingdom was horrified at this.
But the king could ask no questions.
Then came the eighth child
Buffering
The queen took
the eighth baby to the river.
This time the king
could bear it no longer.
She reminded him of his promise
but he could not contain himself.
Now all together, hail Mother Ganga.
-Hail Mother Ganga.
-Hail Mother Ganga.
Then the queen explained that
she was a daughter of Lord Brahma
and that the Sage Vashishta had cursed her
so that all her children would be born
in the human world.
The only way for them
to be freed from this world
and attain the heaven would be
for them to be offered to Mother Ganga.
And so we also immerse
the ashes of the dead in Mother Ganga
so that she will wash away any sins
the dead person may have committed.
-Hail Mother Ganga.
-Excuse me.
I think we immerse the ashes
because ashes have phosphates
which are good for agriculture.
Tara, sit down.
Karan, what do you mean?
I can't take this nonsense anymore.
This is blind faith.
It's all science and nothing else.
-Just sit down.
-I'm not going to be sitting through--
Greetings.
Sorry.
Please continue.
She doesn't understand.
Do you know who the eighth child was?
Bhishma Pitamaha, the supreme commander
of the Kaurava force in the Mahabharata.
What was her name?
Tara Tara Bhalla.
Come this way.
It's a longer route but easier.
You're right. It's all science.
But your story was boring.
It does nothing to help the grieving.
It has no action or a climax.
Nor have you come so far to nourish
Mother Ganga with your mother's ashes.
These stories nourish the world.
Stories are older than us,
and also the dinosaurs.
It's older than the world.
You hear a story and
you tell your children your version of it.
But many of these stories
and the beliefs they spawn are damaging.
That's because we do not
try to understand them.
-Greetings, sir.
-Bless you.
We do not humble ourselves
when we touch another's feet.
We touch them to receive blessings.
The energy from the hand
goes straight to your pituitary gland.
Come.
-Tara, come along, don't argue.
-Come, this way.
Thank you. Thank you for letting us pass.
Come.
Take this.
-Do you mind giving blessings?
-No, please don't.
-Bless me.
-Don't!
Kid, that energy has
reached your pituitary!
Give that to him.
What would you like to
remember about Ms. Gayatri?
It's the little things, right?
Or is there some science behind that?
You will remember-- Sir.
-You will remember all the
-This is for you.
little things she said or did.
Listen, Ms. Gayatri has been here
many times.
-What?
-Yes.
But in this lifetime she
left you those stories, those memories.
Tara was right.
I forgot to talk to you.
These rituals kept me
so busy.
I forgot the important things.
Why were you in a hurry?
We were chugging along so well together.
You were fifteen years younger than me.
So I was sure I would go first.
Then
When I said you would
have to push me about in a wheelchair
I I was joking.
It was a it was a joke.
If you went away for a weekend,
you would leave a
list of things for me to do.
Now
what am I going to
do for the rest of my life?
I don't know.
And our bet about
Mudassar and Tara getting married
how will you know who won?
How?
I think they will.
There's a half-bottle of your shampoo
in the bathroom.
It's there.
What am I--
Okay, I'll give it to Delna.
How will I get to eat
your famous rice gruel?
In the market?
And Nakul.
Nakul doesn't even know.
If I had gone first,
you would have known how to tell him.
How do I tell him?
You remember those
promises we made at the wedding?
That we would be together
for this lifetime and many more?
Is that promise valid or not?
I need you to come back, please.
Please.
Now I have no idea what to do.
I'm so lost.
Was this the way you wanted to go?
Did we do good?
And I knew you used to smoke.
I
My love is the night sky
My love is the night and the sky
I want to spend my life with you
My love
As the light takes dawn by the hand
And spreads across the land
I want to spend my life with you
My love
Are those lips or a flower in bloom
My dreams hover around them
Around my love
My love
My tongue is tied
My lips are silent
My eyes complain to my heart
What you do to me, my love!
As the earth longs for rain
I long for my love
I want to spend my life with you
My love
My life takes all its meaning
When I see it in your eyes
I know who I am in
The mirror of your eyes
Each of your charms
Works like magic
I will lose myself In this magic
I've lost my heart
It's gone
My love, you've got it
And now you're gone
So once you're done with this,
they'll break it and give you
tender coconut to eat.
What's tender coconut?
-It's like creamy--
-Will you have some chole bhature?
Chole bhature anyone?
Greetings, sir.
The chole here are famous.
Come here.
-Do you want to eat some?
-No. Are you nuts?
Come, Mr. Harish.
Let's eat.
-No thank you.
-Everyone's probably hungry.
No, Papa. Let's go back to the hotel
and eat something simple.
Sir
Mr. Harish, you won't get any better.
You cannot go without eating them.
And it's not as if you're
going to come here again and again.
And if you eat well, I'm sure Ms. Gayatri
would find peace.
Good food cures many heartaches.
-Well, if we must, we must.
-Yes.
-Where do these come from?
-Come this way.
Only if you insist.
-Okay. Really?
-Papa wants to have it.
Come on.
We never know when life
will come to an end.
So you might as well eat
chole bhature and be merry.
Here you go.
Have it.
-Lime.
-Lime.
-And some more chole.
-Okay.
Give me some lime.
-Baby, are you okay?
-Yes.
It's spicy. Don't eat that.
The phosphates in the
Ganga have given these chills their zing.
You were right.
It took me some time to understand it
but what we do not
understand is not necessarily wrong.
Give me some chole.
Give me some chole.
Praise Lord Krishna
Praise Lord Krishna
Praise Lord Rama
Praise Lord Rama
Praise Lord Krishna
Praise Lord Krishna
Praise Lord Rama
Praise Lord Rama
Do you play the ukulele?
Yes.
Praise Lord Krishna
Praise Lord Rama
Where did you learn?
On my own.
What?
I learned to play on my own.
Praise Lord Krishna
When you play the tune and
then learn how it was created,
that's faith, it's God-sent.
Praise Lord Krishna
When you learn how to
create the tune and then play it,
that's science.
Praise Lord Rama
But eventually, it's the same tune.
Praise Lord Krishna
Praise Lord Rama
Praise Lord Rama
Mr. Harish, come this way.
Come.
Take off your shoes.
Remove your sandals.
Greetings.
Greetings, sir.
The eldest must offer his hair.
-What?
-Who is the eldest?
-He is.
-He is.
What do I have to do?
Sir, will he have to shave his head?
Purification requires him to go bald.
-Yes.
-I left my phone behind.
I have your phone.
This is a very long line.
No.
We shouldn't break the queue.
I'll be back.
That's a different line.
That line is not to be crossed.
Please sit down for a while.
-Where are you taking him?
-I'm coming. Sit down here.
Come away from the crowd.
I'll check what's happening.
Papa, sit down. I'll handle everything.
Hi, sir!
Listen to what I am saying.
Guys, can I just
-Sir.
-Yes?
We did whatever you said, right?
Yes.
And we did it well?
You are still doing it.
Is this necessary?
It is a purification rite.
She was your mother.
How is her soul to find peace?
Shaving my head will bring her peace?
It's not a haircut.
It's a sacrifice.
Do you know what that means?
Do you understand what blind faith means?
Same question.
No, I'm not having my hair cut.
I am not going to do this
just to make you happy.
-Let me tell you right now--
-What happened, Mr Obedient?
Changed your rules?
So we listen to whatever he says?
Are we so dumb?
We are educated people, right?
Whatever he says
and he may say anything Look, Tara.
Listen up, everyone.
Guys, we are an emotional bunch.
I'm emotional as well.
We are an emotional bunch.
And you're taking advantage of that.
That's what he's doing.
He's taking advantage of the fact that
we're emotional.
Listen to me.
It's really simple.
There's a scientific
basis to this as well.
Cutting the hair reduces the ego.
-What?
-Never mind. Listen.
Everyone here is sacrificing their hair
because they want to.
They're doing it with good hearts.
And I am only a messenger of the Gods.
I can only show you the road.
I don't want to walk that road.
All this is based on faith.
And what is faith?
Tara, there's no such thing as faith.
It's a farce, Tara. It's a farce.
Hey
Wow! Do I have to prove how
much I loved my mother?
Must I present evidence?
No.
-Sir.
-Yes?
Is it possible if he can cut
just a little bit?
What?
No!
Excuse me.
Taru, listen to me.
I have a meeting in LA.
Sweetheart--
Can I walk into a board meeting bald?
Stop crying.
I'm not crying.
Stop stressing. My God!
-Sir.
-Yes?
Is there any other way?
There is.
There is a way out. Listen.
Yes?
Girdhar can help you with this one.
Who is that?
Girdhar come over here, please.
Girdhar!
Please come here.
Please come here, Girdhar.
-Girdhar.
-Girdhar.
Girdhar is here.
This Hello.
He will be shave his head
in your place to please the Gods.
Is that okay?
Oh yes, indeed.
Gayatri was his mother as well.
A mother is a mother.
Was she not?
-She was.
-See.
Now, you'll have to feed him.
He will have kachori puri.
Thank you.
I will have jalebi today.
Listen. Give this to Shastri.
I hope this won't upset the Gods.
No. God belongs to all of us.
He is no stranger.
He understands the
pressure of a board meeting.
And now it is time for me to leave.
May I take your leave?
Blessings on all of you.
And your fees?
I have already been paid.
I brought them with me when I came.
-Hail the God!
-Praise the Lord!
Defeater of death
-Scourge of
-What are they singing?
-The unjust
-I don't know
-but it sounds good
-Blue-throated one
-I guess that's what matters.
-Giver of the nectar of life
Hail God of all time and God out of time
Awe-inspiring Lord Shankar
You are life, you are death
-You are the chain, you are the links
-Are you serious
-You protect every living form
-about Mudassar?
-Awe-inspiring Lord Shankar
-Come and meet him.
Get to know him and then decide.
You are life, you are death
You are the chain, you are the links
What if I disapprove him?
You protect every living form
Will be thrown out.
Hail God of all time and God out of time
Me or him?
Hail God of all time and God out of time
You live together? When did that begin?
We haven't talked properly in ages.
Don't you think?
Hail God of all time and God out of time
Hail God of all time and God out of time
Come.
-Is there a patient here?
-Come this way.
Gayatri Bhalla.
Here.
Mom, what happened?
She fell in the bathroom.
She hurt her head
but she'll be fine I think.
Is it bad? Where is she hurt?
What did the doctors say?
I can smell alcohol right over here.
They had a farewell party. Leave it.
Let it be, bro.
I don't need to explain to anybody.
Yes, we are grown-ups now,
we don't need to explain ourselves.
Excuse me.
She's fine but we'll need
O negative replacement.
Yeah.
-I am O Negative.
-Just shut up.
-Why should I shut up?
-I will--
Tara, you've been drinking.
Let me call someone and ask.
Stop this nonsense.
Doctor, I'll handle this.
What do you mean?
Tara, don't talk like that to Papa.
Why do I always have to bear the taunts?
What's your problem? Let it go.
Let what go?
Tara, watch it.
Mom is sleeping. Just shut up.
You shut up.
You're the family's golden boy, right?
The class topper!
Get out of here, both of you. I mean it.
We'll get some peace at least.
Come on. Go.
-I get scolded because of you.
-Whatever.
I'm not dying to stay here either!
I am out and how!
Wow! Very nice!
I'm still around.
You'll have to wait a bit.
-Where are you going? What's going on?
-Over there.
-Over there. Where is sir?
-He is there.
Okay, great. Be careful.
Didn't you offer your hair?
Despite me telling him,
he didn't shave his head.
It's all about style.
Is this the complete menu?
Karan didn't have his head shaved?
Yes, we'll sort that out.
-So we will--
-For peace in the family.
Why not have a cup of tea?
I'm talking to him.
So let's look at this list--
I can only advise and leave it at that.
There's kadhai paneer and matar paneer.
Let's do it this way.
Just make it matar paneer with dal.
Harish, one second.
You know on the thirteenth
day after the death--
-I was just--
-I'm talking, PP.
We'd like a pulao
and some rotis.
Sir
We'd like papads and raita along.
Oh, no!
-All good, sir.
-I'll be back.
I'll give you a pakora curry to go with.
It's one of our specials.
I will add this to the menu.
-You cut it properly.
-That comes up to 1, 650 per person.
1,650 rupees.
That's what you charged
me for Karan's wedding.
-The same rate for the--
-It was
How can you charge the same rate?
-It's still food, sir.
-Call me.
How does it matter?
Is that done? Okay. Angad.
-Yes? One second.
-Please look into this.
-Come, Daisy.
-But, sir--
Sit please sit.
Have you been watering these plants?
-Yes, I did that earlier this morning.
-Great.
What about this one?
I'm thinking of reshaping it.
You said she would live to be ninety.
That it was all written
on the lines of her hand.
Yes, child.
Now
I did say that, son.
Every parent wants their
child to live to be a hundred.
That's what I wanted.
That's what I wanted.
My child, are you all right?
Sir, in our culture, we have ceremonies
on the 13th day after someone passes.
It's a ritual.
Yes.
I'll finish this and I'll
wrap it up and come soon.
Thank you, sir.
Wrap it up again?
Yes, thank you, sir.
-Yes, see you, sir.
-For God's sake, Karan!
I know, baby, but I
have fifty thousand calls to make now.
Everyone's waiting for me.
I can't just leave them hanging.
-I have work to do.
-Why?
-You're saying I shouldn't work?!
-Yes.
-I shouldn't earn?
-Just do your thing.
-Ma'am!
-Wonderful!
Ms. Gayatri!
Yes, what is it?
Hi, this is Karan.
Can you connect me again, please?
-Mr. Karan!
-Yes?
When did you get here?
Hello.
And where is Ms. Gayatri?
Yeah, hold. Mom!
Mom!
Come on down.
I won't make it too spicy.
Mom.
Quick! Quick!
Oh, God! Give it to him now.
-What happened?
-Mom.
It's too spicy.
How many times do I have to tell
you to not make spicy ones for him?
Keep it mild. Don't you listen?
He cries anyway.
Come on, get away from here.
Show it to me.
The spice went into my eyes.
Okay, don't touch it. Show it to me.
Make it spicier.
It's sticking in my braces.
I told you I don't want braces.
-They tease me in school.
-Show me.
Memories come in a flood
My beloved mother
Mom!
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
Mom won't ever come back.
Stupid.
Have you seen Mom's phone anywhere?
Kite?
I was looking for Mom's phone.
Had she kept this safely?
Why? Was it special?
Turn it over.
Now she's here, now she's there
Oh, she's everywhere
Hold her down? She's light as air
How she harasses me
Such noise as she talks to boys
Her heart is a kite in flight
Try controlling it
You're left with string
Your love is a kite, in a cat-fight
Tease it, ease it to you
Tie your kite
Tie it tight
Let it take flight
Tie your kite
Tie it tight
Let it take flight
Tie your kite
Tie it tight
Let it take flight
Tie your kite
Tie it tight
Let it take flight
What? What are you saying?
G for Geeta and not Gayatri?
Yes, Gayatri was out of my league.
That means you wanted
to marry Auntie Geeta?
And you married Mom?
Look at it this way.
I wanted to get married.
Gayatri was the favorite, not
just of the colony but all of Chandigarh.
And the most beautiful.
I couldn't even dream of her.
It was my good luck
that your Auntie liked me for her sister.
That means, you didn't win Mom's hand,
Auntie won it for you.
Tie your kite
Tie it tight
Oh, yes!
Tie your kite
Tie it tight
Go for it!
Tie your kite
Tie it tight
Does she know?
No.
That was my secret.
Now it's our secret.
Anyway, Mom was too pretty for you.
Do you agree?
But no one could've loved her like you.
I didn't even take her last call.
I didn't get a chance to speak to her
for the last time.
I couldn't even tell her I won the case.
And when were you planning to tell me?
Buddy, can I charge my phone?
I have to book an Uber.
-Go right ahead.
-Thank you.
We regret for the inconvenience
caused to the passengers.
We welcome all the passengers.

Hello.
Hello Brother Tillu.
What happened to Mom?
Oh.
Brother Tillu, what happened to Mom?
Where's Papa? Give him the phone.
Yes.
Ma'am?
Who is it?
Nakul.
Hello.
Tara?
What are you doing in Chandigarh?
What's with Mom?
Papa messaged that she's not well.
Everything all right?
Come home. We'll talk.
Hey, the party crashers
should be there for Papa's party.
Mom and I had planned the surprise.
Glad they were on time.
Awesome!
Listen, my train is late
but I'm catching a cab.
Don't tell Papa I'm coming.
It's a surprise.
Yeah.
H-A-P-P-Y!
It's your birthday!
H-A-P-P-Y!
It's your birthday!
H-A-P-P-Y!
It's your birthday!
H-A-P-P-Y!
It's your birthday!
Happy birthday, sir.
Hope you liked it? Enjoy!
-Bye.
-Bye.
Bye, it was so fun.
Thank you so much.
-Bye!
-Bye.
Tara.
Wow! Karan and his Daisy.
And Auntie as well.
One second.
Sorry Papa, my train was late.
But happy birthday, Papa.
I'm so sorry, Papa.
Happy birthday.
Brother Angad!
So good to see you.
Mom and I had a bet going on you
and look everyone's here.
I won a thousand bucks.
Where's she?
Now time to meet Mom.
Where my Mom?
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Where is my Mom?
Where is my Mom?
Mom wasn't well, you know
What are you saying?
My beloved mother
My beloved mother
Mom!
My beloved mother
Mom!
My beloved mother
-Memories come in a flood
-What are you saying?
-My beloved mother
-Leave me.
How can you be saying that?
Is this a joke?
-Papa, this is a joke, right?
-My beloved mother
My beloved mother
Papa
This is my fault.
How can I be so irresponsible?
How can I be so irresponsible?
You did nothing wrong, Nakul.
No one did.
Gayatri was fine.
She went happily.
-No
-Papa.
But Papa
No ifs and buts.
Can you sit around waiting for us to die?
It doesn't work that way.
Come on now, stop crying.
Come on.
Did you climb that mountain?
Did you make it to the top?
Good, show me.
I did it for Mom.
She challenged me. She said
"You climb these little hills.
Go climb something challenging. "
And when I did it, she isn't here, Papa.
No, she isn't.
How can God be so unfair, Papa?
Hey
You know
when my mother and father
left me at school for the last time
then
Bye.
Then they turned right
and never came back.
Every day, I stood there waiting for them.
What is it?
They're saying my parents are dead.
What does that mean?
Harish, can you see that
man on the cycle there?
Can you see him now?
The teacher said, "He's taken the right
turn and you can't see him anymore.
But that doesn't mean he isn't there. "
Mom took a right-turn as well.
She moves on
but we can't see her.
And then one day, it will be
our turn to take that right-turn.
We won't be seen
but we'll still be moving on.
Hey.
Stupid must have taken a
right turn somewhere.
That's how he ended up here, with us.
Check your phone.
Mom!
"Papa's 70th birthday.
Everyone come on over.
Let's surprise him. "
She may have taken a right-turn
but she's not stopped chasing us.
Defeater of death
Scourge of the unjust
Blue-throated one
Giver of the nectar of life
Great Lord Shiva
Giver of Immortality, uniter of all
Great God of all Gods, we bow to you
Defeater of death, scourge of evil
We surrender to you in our hour of need
Nakul, it's been a long time.
Mr. Ajit.
Cut it all off.
All of it?
All of it.
You never allowed me to touch your hair.
When you tonsured me as a
child, remember what you said?
Remember?
Cutting the hair brings purity.
Deflects the evil eye.
You will become brainy.
You'll walk on your own.
You won't have to hold your mom's hand.
When your hair grows back,
you'll look like Shah Rukh Khan.
Now's your chance to cut it.
As you wish.
How are you, Mr. Ajit?
Karan, how are you?
Great. And you?
I'll be with you in a minute.
They say there's
science in this one as well.
One's hair is a symbol of one's ego.
Once you get rid of the ego
that's when you can take on
new responsibilities.
Shall we do away with this ego?

So the husband said to the wife,
"You watch cooking shows all day.
Why can't you cook?"
And the wife said,
"You watch Kaun Banega Crorepati? as well.
Why aren't you a millionaire?"
I think we should discuss
this right-turn phenomenon right now.
It might be a good idea for us
to know how everyone
else wants to make their exit.
-Absolutely.
-We can avoid confusion.
Exactly. Yeah.
You'd better tell us what you'd like
because Karan and
I are never going to agree.
Yeah.
Last year, I had a heart attack
and I thought it was
my time to take a right turn.
But it turned out to be a U-turn.
-It was--
-I made something
and brought it along.
It's a little surprise.
-Oh, wow for me?
-Yes!
Very nice.
-Papa.
-Yes?
I could take my right turn
before you, right?
What are you saying, son?
-My right turn
-Yes?
could be before you, right?
Actually, you're right.
When you got to leave the world
you got to go. Get it?
It's very nice.
I love it.
It's ridiculous.
It's very nice. They don't know anything.
If you can join the sides, it would be
-Join!
-Join!
Auntie, it's called fashion!
It's not your cup of tea.
Let me show her. Shut up, all of you!
-Why don't you teach her?
-Don't worry. It's really nice.
